Photography and video-making techniques and planning.

How do you make a distant subject readable while keeping enough of its surroundings to explain what the viewer is seeing? Start by deciding which detail matters and which relationship must remain visible. A close view might reveal a window, a rock formation, or a sculpture's outline, yet leave the viewer unsure where it belongs. Plan the detail and its setting together before choosing how tightly to frame.
Which views will help someone understand a product's operation without guessing what happened between shots? Start with the action you want the viewer to follow, then plan a visible starting state, an uninterrupted demonstration, and a result they can inspect. That is the purpose of product demo video planning : deciding what the recording needs to explain before you decide how to dress the scene or which equipment to use.
A family photo disc needs a clear answer to a small question: which pictures should this particular person receive? Start desktop photo sharing by making a separate selection for the intended recipient, checking permission and reviewing the actual files you plan to include. Leave your original collection outside that selection. The useful result is a folder of approved photographs with enough context to understand them, ready for a separate decision about equipment and disc creation.
